Robert Sorby 870H Micro Fluted Parting Tool 1/6” Overall Length 10”

I read a review of this tool cautioning that it was smaller than expected, and I was prepared for that. When I received it I was still surprised at how small it was, and felt disappointed. However now that I've used it a few times I am happy with, and like the small size. It's very sharp right out of the box and makes a very nice cut. The fluted design works great and makes a perfect cut with no grain tearing. I've used it to part off a 3" - 3-1/2" turning with no problem. It works on end grain very well also, when establishing the rim of a box or box lid.

Very nice parting tool. I needed a very thin tool to do segmented parting and this tool does a great job. I did have to round over the sharp edges so it wouldn't bind up, but it does a great job!

I've used this parting tool a few times now. It's very small and narrow and light weight. If you are making tiny projects I think you might like it, but I don't like it. I'll look for something else a little more substantial.

This is a good chisel for the money. It was smaller than what I wanted, but for small wood pieces it works well.

I needed a finer parting tool than what was in my tool box. This one fits the bill well. I am not certain how it will work on a large piece. On medium size turning (4in or smaller) works very well.

It wasn't sharp out of the box and became hot very quickly. I was trying to part a circle from 3/4 inch walnut board.

This is a very small tool used to part projects on a wood lathe. For my application it is just the right size.

works great for board to bowl turning.

very small but it said that, just didn't notice. Very nice tool but small
